Virtual Sayama 33 Kannon Pilgrimag #27 Jusho-ji Temple

 

     Jusho-in Temple was founded by the third priest of Fusai-ji Temple (4 Chome−20−46 Shibasakicho, Tachikawa, Tokyo 190-0023), Seichin (?-1409), in Takane Village, Iruma County, Musashi Province. As Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) was enshrined in Nikko as a god, the number of travelers between Edo and Nikko increased. Nihongi Village became a staging post and its population increased. The third priest of Jusho-in Temple, Bunpo, moved the temple to Nihongi Village and changed its name Jusho-ji.

     What did the Takane villagers do without a temple? As both villages used to be ruled by the Miyadera Family, one of the branch families of the Murayama Corps, they mightn't mind traveling to Nihongi Village.
